I think Dembski's a Doofus, and DaveScot is a Tard. I like long walks on the beach, and think atheist women are hawt. I think the posters here are the smartest, yet zaniest and coolest anywhere on the internet, and the UD posters the dumbest, yet unfunniest anywhere outside of WorldNut Daily and the Bush Whitehouse.   As a mater of fact, if I DID go back to get the MA, it would be to research the link betweeen funny and smart, or maybe just to work on my tan in Costa Rica.
